Facts about Grainyhead-like protein 3 homolog.
Exhibits functional redundancy with GRHL2 in epidermal morphogenetic events and epidermal wound repair but is essential to form the epidermal barrier with TGM3 as crucial direct target gene among others. Despite being dispensable during normal epidermal homeostasis in the maturity, is again required for barrier repair after immune-mediated epidermal damage, regulates distinct gene batteries in embryonic epidermal differentiation and adult epidermal barrier reformation after injury.
